Frequently asked questions
Straight answers. If yours isn’t here, ask us.
Selling your property
Do I pay you a fee?
No. You don't pay us anything. You will need your own solicitor, and we can suggest local firms if that helps.
Who actually buys my property?
Usually a cash or mortgage-ready investor from our network. Occasionally we buy a property ourselves. We'll always tell you who the buyer is before you agree to anything.
Are you an estate agent?
We're a property sourcing business. We act for the buyer, not for you as the seller. Our work counts as estate agency work in law, so we are a member of the Property Redress Scheme and follow the same rules on honesty and disclosure.
How do you work out an offer?
We look at recent sales of similar homes nearby, the condition of the property, the cost of any work, and the buyer's costs. We'll show you the comparables we used.
Will you pay full market value?
Usually not. Cash buyers pay below full market value in exchange for speed, certainty and taking the property as it is. If you're not in a rush, an estate agent will usually get you a higher price, and we'll say so.
Could the offer change later?
Only if the survey or legal work finds something that wasn't known at the viewing. If that happens, we'll explain why and show you the evidence. You're never obliged to accept.
How quickly can you complete?
Most cash sales complete in 4 to 8 weeks. It can be faster, depending mainly on the solicitors and searches. You choose the completion date.
Will you consider any property?
We'll look at any property in Gloucestershire, in any condition, including tenanted homes. Not every property is a fit, and if it isn't, we'll tell you quickly.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. We only share your details with a buyer when you're happy for us to, and never sell your information. See our privacy policy.
Investors
How do I get deals from you?
Register on our Investors page and we'll book a short call. Once your ID and anti-money-laundering checks are done, we send you deal packs that fit your brief. You can also join our free WhatsApp deal group for quick alerts.
Do you charge a sourcing fee?
Yes. The fee is shown in each deal pack and agreed in writing before you pay anything, typically £2,000 to £5,000 depending on the deal. The agreement also sets out when it's paid and what happens if a deal falls through.
What's in a deal pack?
Price, location, photos, refurb scope and cost estimate, comparable sales, value after works, rent evidence, timeline, exit options and the key risks.
How are your refurb and value figures checked?
We use live comparables, local agent feedback, real quotes from our own build team and historic sales data. You're welcome to check all of it.
Can I view before I reserve?
Yes, where access allows. We'll arrange a viewing or share enough detail for you to decide.
How do I reserve a deal?
Call or message us. Deals are first come, first served, and you'll need proof of funds or finance in place. A reservation agreement applies.
Do you buy deals yourselves?
Yes. We invest in Gloucester ourselves and share deals that don't fit our own plans. We'll always tell you if we have any interest in a property.
Is there a minimum budget?
No strict minimum. You need cash or finance ready, to be comfortable with refurbishment risk, and to be able to move quickly.
Can I buy through a limited company?
Yes, many investors do. Tell us how you're buying and we'll make sure the paperwork suits your structure.
Can overseas investors use you?
Yes, provided you can complete UK ID and anti-money-laundering checks and have a UK solicitor.
Can you help with finance, solicitors and builders?
Yes. We can introduce brokers, solicitors, surveyors and contractors we use ourselves. Their fees are separate, and we'll tell you if we receive any referral fee.
